Abstract

Group multicasting is a kind of communication mechanism whereby each member of a group sends messages to all the other members of the same group. Group multicast routing algorithms capable of satisfying quality of service (QoS) requirements of multimedia applications are essential for high-speed networks. We present a heuristic algorithm for group multicast routing with end to end delay constraint. Source-specific routing trees for each member are generated in our algorithm, which satisfy member’s bandwidth and end to end delay requirements. Simulations over random network were carried out to compare proposed algorithm performance with Low and Song’s. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm performs better in terms of network cost and ability in constructing feasible multicast trees for group members. Moreover, our algorithm achieves good performance in balancing traffic, which can avoid link blocking and enhance the network behavior efficiently.
